connections
Synopsis: Humanities Connections grants seek to
expand the role of the humanities in the
undergraduate curriculum at two- and four-year
institutions, offering students in all academic fields
new opportunities to develop the intellectual skills
and habits of mind that the humanities cultivate.
Grant projects focus on connecting the resources and
perspectives of the humanities to students’ broader
educational and professional goals, regardless of their
path of study. The Humanities Connections projects
two core features include, faculty from at least two
separate departments or schools at a single institution
must collaborate to devise new curricular
arrangements, and; projects must include provisions
for high-impact student engagement activities that
relate directly to the topics of the linked courses.
These activities could include individual or
collaborative undergraduate research projects;
opportunities for civic engagement; or a structured
experience with community-based, project-based, or
site-based learning.
Funding Range: $1 to $100,000
